How does having or not having broadband affect you dropping out?

I'll repeat my question. Maybe I typed too fast. How does having or not having broadband affect you dropping out?

Are you saying that you couldn't complete your education because you didn't have the educational resources to succeed? How have hundreds of millions of previous graduates succeed in prior years before broadband was common in many homes?

I graduated from high school in '97 and had a lowly 56k modem at home. Yet somehow I struggled my way through my education career. If I needed to find out information on something, I did what people have been doing for millenniums. I went to an old fashion library. Most towns have one in them, or at least in a neighboring town. Virtually every school has one too.

And you probably just found out why they dropped out - and broadband would not have helped in any way to keep them in school.
